I should point out that I am up to date with all firmware and versions on my windows 10 machine. To reproduce, simply use the materials test in lightburn with speed going from 1 to 10 mm/s on a 10w xtool D1. I just purchased lightburn as it seemed like it would work great, but I keep hitting this wall and wasting material. Please help.
I just emailed LightBurn support but being a Sunday night, and a 3 day weekend, I’m sure any response will be delayed. I’ll post back if I get any help.
Lightburn support wrote back. Here’s what they said
We have seen this issue one time before, and the user solved the issue by using a different laptop. We never got to the bottom of the issue, but believed it to be a problem with the controller.
One thing you might try is changing your ‘Transfer mode’ from ‘Buffered’ to ‘Synchronous’ in your ‘Device Settings’.
The last ditch effort would be to re-flash the firmware on the board.
Let us know how that goes.
Cheers,

For me my laptop is very new running Windows 11 and my only other computer is a work computer, so trying a different computer is not going to work for me. I will try changing the transfer mode and see what that does. I’m sure it won’t be that simple…
Can you confirm what specific version of the firmware you are currently running?
Consider also applying the V005 beta firmware. Not certain if this will resolve the issue but seems it addresses other known issues with their GRBL implementation so may be worth a shot.
Thanks berainlb, I am running the latest firmware. I may have to give the V005 beta a try.
Scott, I tried changing the transfer mode from buffered to synchronous last night and it did not help. However, it has been working today. The only difference is I restarted my laptop this morning.
buffered to synchronous change seemed to work, at least for the material test which had failed before. No other changes were made and this worked. I am running the latest on all firmware and lightburn versions.
